i want to lower my 2009 civic si but i dont really know what all would be best i dont want to slam it just lower it to the rubber on the wheels something from 1''-2''
and what ab camber and tier ware because i am only buying springs [i think]

 

im sure you going to get a 100 "SEARCH" replys....

your question is pretty vague and covered many times on all forums... but if you want cheapest way to go low and you have a disregard for everything else, get Ground Control ADJ. Springs and just mess with those... if you want to be smart and spend a lil money get coilovers... anything more than an 1" is going to put stress on your stock struts... they are meant to go lower than stock.

if i were you i would decide where you wana go with car and do ALOT of research... dont just write these types of questions...pretty pointless...

 

Damn Memo thats harsh..

You should read the threds though if you would look a couple topics down you would see that this was a topic that was covered.

Memo is correct though, you are going to be spending money in the long run b/c your shocks are going to give out one day when you are trying to show off and point are going to *point and laugh*

I am getting my SKUNK2 SHOCKS AND SPRINGS it will come out to 500 and some change but it is worth it and don't have to worry about something taking a **** along the way. I will get a camber kit soon so the tires wont wear out as bad a little later.

Once alll that is done and delt with I will be moving on to other components!

PS. Read around the threads before posting a question that is only 4 topics Below

 

^ harsh .? i though i was nice lol... i seen some pretty bad bashin on HT... but didnt mean to be mean... but thats like asking " what is the best tire for my 17" rim"??? lol not much detail...

 

You have to remember there are people out there that can possibly open a car hood and not point out the battery... lol

 

if you are only going to buy springs, stick with h&r, eibach, Tein

 

What do you guys think about the item sports suspension?

 

I left out the mugen part of that suspension.

 

h&r, eibach, Tein - best suspension companies imo.

 

just ordered some Eibach Sportlines for the Si. Can't wait to lower that biatch!

 

Just put my Mugen Suspention on yesterday and loving it. It might not be that low but with the front and rear Sway bars replaced and the lower control arm, its money well spent.

 

excuse me for de-railing the thread but i have a quick question....

what is the difference between a coilover and a shock/spring set? do they not function the same??

 

Spring and shock setups are non adjustable. Coilovers in most cases are fully adjustable. Height and dampening.

 

IMO swift springs beat them all. And jays racing uses them on almost every application. I'd say go with them, some koni yellow shock/struts.( your stock suspension won't handle the drop too well.) and for camber kits the cheapest and most affective way is getting the Ingalls front kit and rear adjusters.

All together it's about, 1000

 

HFP suspension.

/thread

 

Best option is Eibach, H&R, or the HFP kit.

 

Installed a set of D2 Racing coilovers a couple weeks ago on my 2007 Si sedan. I can't say enough. What a difference! The ride is amazing. Car handles so well. Suspension feel is a lot tighter. Highly recommend coilovers over spring/shock combo. You'll pay more but you'll get so much more.

 

Ok, so I want to install the Eibach Sportlines I got....but I need a how to on how to go about installing these. I'm not at all mechanically inclined and wouldn't even know what to do after I take the wheels off....

 

ttt
